Description

IMPLANT DENTAIRE DENTAL IMPLANT
L'invention concerne les implants dentaires destinés à être implantés dans la mâchoire inférieure ou supérieure, pour servir de soutien à une prothèse dentaire, couronne ou bridge, après extraction totale d'une .ou de plusieurs dents. D'une façon générale, ces implants sont formés d'une pièce insérable dans le tissu osseux et d'une tête, dite implantaire, qui vient se fixer sur la pièce insérable et qui reçoit la prothèse.The invention relates to dental implants intended to be implanted in the lower or upper jaw, to serve as support for a dental prosthesis, crown or bridge, after complete extraction of one or more teeth. In general, these implants are formed of an insertable part in the bone tissue and of a head, called implant, which is fixed on the insertable part and which receives the prosthesis.
Le document FR-A-2.085.013 décrit un implant dentaire dans lequel la tête et la pièce insérable sont reliées ensemble par une rotule pour permettre l'inclinaison de la tête par rapport à la pièce insérable. Le blocage en position est assuré par une vis de blocage ou par la mise sous tension d'un lien souple tel qu'un câble. L'implant dentaire décrit dans ce document présente une structure relativement compliquée.Document FR-A-2.085.013 describes a dental implant in which the head and the insertable part are connected together by a ball joint to allow the inclination of the head relative to the insertable part. Locking in position is ensured by a locking screw or by tensioning a flexible link such as a cable. The dental implant described in this document has a relatively complicated structure.
On a aussi proposé (US-A-4.758.161, US-A-4.276.026 et US-A-4.645.453) une tête implantaire en une seule pièce, présentant un amincissement permettant le cintrage de ladite tête. Les impératifs de résistance et de rigidité limitent l'amincissement, ce qui impose le cintrage de la tête hors de la bouche et par suite peut rendre impossible le montage d'une telle tête dans un implant situé entre deux dents, pour des raisons d'.encombrement lors du vissage de la tête coudée. En outre, une partie de la tête, c'est-à-dire la base, n'est pas coudée, ce qui, notamment, se répercute de manière défavorable sur la réalisation de la prothèse.We have also proposed (US-A-4,758,161, US-A-4,276,026 and US-A-4,645,453) an implant head in one piece, having a thinning allowing the bending of said head. The requirements of strength and rigidity limit thinning, which requires bending the head out of the mouth and therefore can make impossible to mount such a head in an implant located between two teeth, for reasons of congestion when screwing the bent head. In addition, part of the head, that is to say the base, is not bent, which, in particular, has an unfavorable effect on the production of the prosthesis.
L'invention a donc pour objectif de remédier aux inconvénients mentionnés ci-dessus en fournissant un implant dentaire pouvant être disposé de façon appropriée angulairement et circonférentiellement. Un autre objectif de l'invention est de fournir un tel implant dentaire qui soit facile à réaliser et à utiliser.The invention therefore aims to remedy the drawbacks mentioned above by providing a dental implant which can be arranged in an angular and circumferential manner. Another object of the invention is to provide such a dental implant which is easy to produce and to use.
L'invention a donc pour objet un implant dentaire destiné à être implanté dans la mâchoire inférieure ou supérieure pour servir de soutien à une prothèse dentaire et comportant une pièce, telle que fût fileté; lame ou analogue, qui est insérable dans le tissu osseux de la mâchoire réceptrice pour y assurer l'ancrage de 1'.implant et qui comprend une partie droite, notamment cylindrique, dont une extrémité affleure à la surface de la mâchoire lorsque ladite pièce est insérée dans celle-ci, ainsi qu'une tête implantaire reliée de façon amovible à ladite pièce et sur laquelle on monte la prothèse dentaire, implant dans lequel la pièce insérable et la tête sont reliées entre elles par une rotule permettant l'orientation de la tête par rapport à la pièce insérable de façon à permettre le positionnement angulaire et circonférentiel approprié de la tête par rapport à la mâchoire réceptrice et dans lequel il est prévu des moyens pour assurer l'immobilisation de la tête dans ladite position appropriée et, dans la partie droite de la pièce insérable, une cavité cylindrique s'etendant concentriquement à l'axe longitudinal de ladite partie et se prolongeant dans la tête par une deuxième cavité cylindrique, concentrique* à l'axe longitudinal de la tête, lequel implant est essentiellement caractérisé en ce qu'il est prévu dans lesdites cavités un élément qui relie la tête à la pièce insérable et qui est cintrable, en bouche, au voisinage du centre de la rotule. Par élément cintrable, on entend un élément qui conserve de lui-même la forme, c'est- à-dire l'inclinaison, qui lui a été conférée par courbement. De préférence, lors du montage final de la tête, les parties libres, desdites cavités, voisines de la rotule sont remplies d'un ciment dentaire, ou autre matière, apte à être désagrégé par des moyens appropriés, notamment par les ultra-sons, en vue d'un démontage éventuel de la tête. Des ciments particulièrement appropriés sont les ciments au phosphate de zinc et, en général, tous les ciments qui ne "soudent" pas le métal constituant l'implant.The invention therefore relates to a dental implant intended to be implanted in the lower or upper jaw to serve as support for a dental prosthesis and comprising a part, such as was threaded; blade or the like, which can be inserted into the bone tissue of the receiving jaw to anchor the implant therein, and which comprises a straight part, in particular cylindrical, one end of which is flush with the surface of the jaw when said piece is inserted therein, as well as an implant head detachably connected to said part and on which the dental prosthesis is mounted, implant in which the insertable part and the head are connected together by a ball joint allowing the orientation of the head relative to the insertable part so as to allow the appropriate angular and circumferential positioning of the head relative to the receiving jaw and in which means are provided for ensuring the immobilization of the head in said appropriate position and, in the straight part of the insertable part, a cylindrical cavity extending concentrically with the longitudinal axis of said part and extending in the head by a second cylindrical cavity, concentric * to the longitudinal axis of the head, which implant is essentially characterized in that there is provided in said cavities an element which connects the head to the insertable piece which is bendable, in the mouth, near the center of the patella. By bendable element is meant an element which retains the shape, that is to say the inclination, which has been imparted to it by bending. Preferably, during the final mounting of the head, the free parts of said cavities, adjacent to the patella, are filled with dental cement, or other material, capable of being disaggregated by appropriate means, in particular by ultrasound, for possible disassembly of the head. Particularly suitable cements are zinc phosphate cements and, in general, all cements which do not "weld" the metal constituting the implant.
De préférence, à l'une de ses extrémités, la tête comporte une partie spherique agencée de manière-' à pouvoir coopérer étroitement avec une surface de contact complémentaire, en forme de portion de sphère creuse,• portée par ladite extrémité affleurante de la pièce insérable, la partie spherique et la surface de contact réalisant ladite rotule. L'angle d'ouverture de la surface de contact spherique, c'est-à-dire l'angle défini par les deux rayons les plus éloignés passant par le centre d'un cercle imaginaire dans lequel s'inscrit la surface de contact, est au plus égal à 180° pour permettre l'amovibilité de la liaison. On préfère que cet angle soit égal à 180° pour des raisons de résistance mécanique, donc que la surface de contact soit une demi-sphère creuse.Preferably at one of its ends, the head comprises a spherical part arranged way- 'to be able to cooperate closely with a complementary contact surface in the form of hollow sphere portion, • carried by said flush end of the workpiece insertable, the spherical part and the contact surface forming said ball. The opening angle of the spherical contact surface, that is to say the angle defined by the two most distant rays passing through the center of an imaginary circle in which the contact surface is inscribed, is at most equal to 180 ° to allow the bond to be removed. It is preferred that this angle is equal to 180 ° for reasons of mechanical strength, therefore that the contact surface is a hollow hemisphere.
De préférence, les cavités prévues dans la partie droite de l'élément insérable et dans la tête implantaire, dans le prolongement l'une de l'autre, sont filetées intérieurement sur au moins une partie de leur longueur, l'élément cintrable comprend une tige cintrable portant à, ou près de, chacune de ses extrémités, un satellite, muni d'un filetage complémentaire de celui de la cavité correspondante et, à l'extrémité libre de la partie spherique de la tête, la cavité prévue dans la tête s'élargit de façon tronconique, la rotule, les cavités et la tige cintrable étant dimensionnées de manière à pouvoir supporter une inclinaison, de la tête par rapport à la partie droite de la pièce insérable, comprise entre 0 et 30° environ. Avant cintrage, l'élément cintrable est avantageusement symétrique par rapport à son centre afin de faciliter le travail du praticien. Les parties filetées de chaque cavité sont donc équivalentes.Preferably, the cavities provided in the right part of the insertable element and in the implant head, in the extension of one another, are internally threaded over at least part of their length, the bendable element comprises a bendable rod carrying at or near each of its ends, a satellite, provided with a thread complementary to that of the corresponding cavity and, at the free end of the spherical part of the head, the cavity provided in the head widens frustoconically, the patella, the cavities and the bendable rod being dimensioned so as to be able to withstand an inclination, of the head relative to the straight part of the insertable piece, of between 0 and 30 ° approximately. Before bending, the bendable element is advantageously symmetrical with respect to its center in order to facilitate the work of the practitioner. The threaded parts of each cavity are therefore equivalent.
De préférence, l'implant dentaire selon l'invention est entièrement fait en titane pur, de nuance dentaire. On peut aussi envisager de le réaliser en un alliage de titane, aluminium et vanadium.Preferably, the dental implant according to the invention is entirely made of pure titanium, of dental shade. We can also consider making it from an alloy of titanium, aluminum and vanadium.
L'invention va être maintenant décrite plus en détail à l'aide -de modes de réalisation pris à titre d'exemples non limitatifs et se référant au dessin, annexé dont : la figure 1 montre, partiellement en coupe longitudinale médiane, la tête et une partie du fût d'un implant-vis selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, la figure 2 montre le même mode de réalisation qu'à la figure 1, pour un implant-lame.The invention will now be described in more detail with the aid of embodiments taken by way of nonlimiting examples and referring to the attached drawing, of which: FIG. 1 shows, partially in median longitudinal section, the head and part of the barrel of a screw implant according to one embodiment of the invention, FIG. 2 shows the same embodiment as in FIG. 1, for a blade implant.
L'implant dentaire selon l'invention est réalisé en titane pur, de nuance dentaire, et comporte une pièce insérable dans la mâchoire du patient. A la figure 1, où il est question d'un implant-vis, la pièce insérable est une pièce cylindrique ou fût 1, représentée partiellement, comprenant une partie filetée usuelle et une partie non filetée 2 dont l'extrémité affleure à la surface de la mâchoire ou de la gencive lorsque le fût 1 est en place." A la figure 2, où il est question d'un implant-lame, la pièce cylindrique est remplacée par une lame usuelle l', notamment une lame ajourée, qui est prolongée par une partie 2 identique à la partie non filetée 2 de la figure 1. A son extrémité 3 opposée à la partie filetée ou à la lame proprement dite, la partie 2 de la pièce insérable 1 ou l' présente une surface en forme de demi-sphère creuse dite surface de contact 4. La partie 2 comporte en outre une cavité cylindrique 5 s'etendant sur sensiblement toute la longueur de ladite partie 2 et concentriquement à l'axe longitudinal de celle-ci. La cavité 5 est filetée intérieurement.The dental implant according to the invention is made of pure titanium, of dental shade, and comprises a part insertable into the jaw of the patient. In FIG. 1, where it is a question of an implant-screw, the insertable part is a cylindrical part or barrel 1, partially represented, comprising a usual threaded part and a non-threaded part 2 whose end is flush with the surface of the jaw or gum when the barrel 1 is in place. " In FIG. 2, where it is a question of an implant-blade, the cylindrical part is replaced by a usual blade 1c, in particular an openwork blade, which is extended by a part 2 identical to the non-threaded part 2 of the Figure 1. At its end 3 opposite the threaded part or the blade itself, part 2 of the insertable part 1 or has a surface in the shape of a hollow hemisphere called contact surface 4. Part 2 further comprises a cylindrical cavity 5 extending over substantially the entire length of said part 2 and concentrically with the longitudinal axis thereof. The cavity 5 is internally threaded.
L'implant comporte en outre une tête implantaire 6 qui est la partie de l'implant qui est située hors de la mâchoire et qui reçoit la prothèse. Cette tête 6 a une forme générale tronconique avec une extrémité étroite 7 et une extrémité partiellement spherique, appelée dans ce contexte "partie spherique" 8. Plus précisément, cette partie spherique 8 est un segment spherique dont l'axe médian coïncide avec l'axe longitudinal de la tête 6. La tête 6 présente une cavité axiale 9 qui débouche à la partie spherique 8 par un tronc de cône 10 s' évasant vers l'extérieur. La cavité axiale 9 présente un - filetage intérieur.The implant also comprises an implant head 6 which is the part of the implant which is located outside the jaw and which receives the prosthesis. This head 6 has a generally frustoconical shape with a narrow end 7 and a partially spherical end, called in this context "spherical part" 8. More precisely, this spherical part 8 is a spherical segment whose median axis coincides with the axis longitudinal of the head 6. The head 6 has an axial cavity 9 which opens to the spherical part 8 by a truncated cone 10 flaring outwards. The axial cavity 9 has an internal thread.
La surface de contact 4 et la partie spherique 8 sont dimensionnées de façon à pouvoir former une rotule dans laquelle la surface extérieure de la partie spherique 8 coopère étroitement avec la surface de contact 4, lorsque la tête 6 et la pièce 1 ou 1 ' sont assemblées. L'assemblage de la tête 6 et de la pièce 1 ou l' est assuré par un élément oblong 11 venant se visser dans chacune des cavités 5 et 9 et comprenant une tige 12 munie, à chacune de ses extrémités, d'un satellite 13 comportant un filetage complémentaire du filetage intérieur des cavités 5 et 9. L'élément oblong 11 est symétrique par rapport au centre 14 de la tige 12. Lorsque l'implant est assemblé, le centre. 14 coïncide avec le centre de la rotule.The contact surface 4 and the spherical part 8 are dimensioned so as to be able to form a ball joint in which the external surface of the spherical part 8 cooperates closely with the contact surface 4, when the head 6 and the part 1 or 1 'are assemblies. The assembly of the head 6 and the part 1 or is ensured by an oblong element 11 coming to be screwed in each of the cavities 5 and 9 and comprising a rod 12 provided, at each of its ends, with a satellite 13 comprising a thread complementary to the internal thread of the cavities 5 and 9. The oblong element 11 is symmetrical relative to the center 14 of the rod 12. When the implant is assembled, the center. 14 coincides with the center of the patella.
Pour le montage de la tête 6 sur la pièce insérable 1 qui a été mise en place dans la mâchoire du patient, la tige 12 est vissée à fond dans la tête 6. Le praticien présente alors l'ensemble tête 6 - tige 12 après avoir mis un ciment dentaire approprié 15 (pouvant être désagrégé par les ultra-sons) à l'extrémité de ladite tête 6, notamment dans la cavité formée par le tronc de cône 10, puis visse la tête 6 dans la pièce insérable 1, sans bloquer à fond. Il effectue ensuite le cintrage requis à l'aide d'un outil approprié, puis visse la tête à fond. Le ciment en excès, débordant de la rotule, est ensuite éliminé.For mounting the head 6 on the insertable part 1 which has been placed in the patient's jaw, the rod 12 is screwed fully into the head 6. The practitioner then presents the head 6 - rod 12 assembly after having put a suitable dental cement 15 (which can be disintegrated by ultrasound) at the end of said head 6, in particular in the cavity formed by the truncated cone 10, then screws the head 6 into the insertable part 1, without completely locking. He then performs the required bending using an appropriate tool, then screws the head fully. The excess cement, overflowing from the ball joint, is then removed.
L'angle de cintrage est limité par la configuration de la liaison à rotule. On peut prévoir d'utiliser un tel implant pour des angles d'inclinaison ne dépassant pas 30° environ. En cas de besoin, la tête implantaire peut être démontée, de la manière suivante :The bending angle is limited by the configuration of the ball joint. One can plan to use such an implant for angles of inclination not exceeding about 30 °. If necessary, the implant head can be removed, as follows:
- Dans la partie spherique 8, on perce un trou en biais de façon à déboucher de préférence au moins en partie dans la cavité formée par le tronc du cône 10, par exemple à l'aide d'un foret ou d'une fraise de 1 mm de diamètre; On a représenté un tel trou par des traits mixtes 16 à la figure 1, l'axe de ce trou formant un angle de 30° environ avec l'axe longitudinal de la tête 6.- In the spherical part 8, a hole is drilled at an angle so as to preferably open at least partially in the cavity formed by the trunk of the cone 10, for example using a drill or a milling cutter. 1 mm in diameter; Such a hole has been represented by dashed lines 16 in FIG. 1, the axis of this hole forming an angle of approximately 30 ° with the longitudinal axis of the head 6.
- On introduit dans ce trou une aiguille à ultra-sons et l'on réduit au maximum en poudre le ciment 15 par émission d'ultra-sons.- An ultrasonic needle is introduced into this hole and the cement 15 is reduced to a maximum in powder form by emission of ultrasound.
- On élimine au maximum les poussières de ciment par le susdit trou, par exemple avec un jet d'eau stérile.- Cement dust is eliminated as much as possible through the above hole, for example with a sterile water jet.
- On redresse la tête 6 (au moyen de l'outil spécial) afin de la ramener au minimum à 15° de l'axe longitudinal de la pièce insérable 1 ou l', de préférence à moins de 10°. En effet, au delà de 15°, le dévissage de la tête 6 pourrait détériorer le bord périphérique de la surface de contact 4. De préférence, on redresse à peu près complètement la tête 6, puis on la dévisse, la tige de liaison 12 venant avec celle-ci.- The head 6 is straightened (by means of the special tool) in order to bring it back to at least 15 ° from the longitudinal axis of the insertable part 1 or the, preferably less than 10 °. Indeed, beyond 15 °, unscrewing the head 6 could deteriorate the peripheral edge of the contact surface 4. Preferably, the head 6 is almost completely straightened, then it is unscrewed, the connecting rod 12 coming with this one.
En variante, si l'on préfère que la tige de liaison 12 reste sur la pièce insérable 1 ou l', on ne redresse pas complètement la tête 6, puis on dévisse celle-ci. On redresse ensuite complètement la tige 12 et on la dévisse.As a variant, if it is preferred that the connecting rod 12 remains on the insertable part 1 or the, the head 6 is not completely straightened, then it is unscrewed. The rod 12 is then completely straightened and unscrewed.
- Avant de remonter un nouvel ensemble tête-tige, on nettoie la surface de contact 4 et la .cavité 5 de la pièce insérable 1 ou l'.- Before reassembling a new head-rod assembly, clean the contact surface 4 and the cavity 5 of the insertable part 1 or the.
L'invention a été décrite pour des implants- vis et pour des implants-lames. Il est bien entendu qu'elle peut également s'appliquer à tous les autres types d'implants dentaires utilisés, qu'ils soient endo-osseux ou juxta-osseux. Les implants juxta-osseux sont ceux pour lesquels l'implant est fixé autour de l'os et non dans celui-ci, comme c'est le cas pour les implants endo-osseux du type à lame ou à vis.The invention has been described for screw implants and for blade implants. It is understood that it can also be applied to all the other types of dental implants used, whether endosseous or juxta-osseous. Juxta-osseous implants are those for which the implant is fixed around the bone and not in it, as is the case for endosseous implants of the blade or screw type.
On peut aussi envisager d'utiliser l'invention dans le cas de multi-implants, pour lesquels on recourt à au moins deux implants pour soutenir la prothèse.It is also possible to envisage using the invention in the case of multi-implants, for which recourse is had to at least two implants to support the prosthesis.
La tête implantaire selon l'invention peut avoir toute forme extérieure usuelle. Elle peut notamment comporter des rainures circonférentielles et/ou des surfaces de prise pour outils de serrage.The implant head according to the invention can have any usual external shape. It may in particular include circumferential grooves and / or gripping surfaces for clamping tools.
Un avantage important de l'invention est de pouvoir fournir un implant standard que le praticien ajuste en fonction du cas concerné. En outre, la standardisation de cet implant simplifie sa fabrication, facilite l'approvisionnement du praticien et réduit l'outillage nécessaire à son montage. An important advantage of the invention is to be able to provide a standard implant which the practitioner adjusts according to the case concerned. In addition, the standardization of this implant simplifies its manufacture, facilitates the supply of the practitioner and reduces the tools necessary for its assembly.
